Introduction
• Dental caries and periodontal diseases are
two of the most widespread of all human
maladies, resulting from the accumulation
of many different species of bacteria
• Dental plaque is a naturally acquired, multispecies biofilm

Dental Plaque: Microbial Biofilm
• Dental plaque is a multi-species biofilm
– Some bacterial species may be of greater
relevance in the development of caries and
periodontal diseases
• Historical aspect:
Most natural surfaces
have their own coating of microoganisms
or biofilm

Historical Aspect
• One of the first known examples of life is
mineralized bacteria or algae attached to
rocks from the Precambrian Era
(approximately 3800 million years ago)
• Calculus is a hard calcified deposit of
plaque that has become mineralized

Dental Plaque: Biofilm
• Not all microorganisms within the biofilm
population react uniformly to antimicrobial
treatment at a given time
• It is important to include mechanical oral
hygiene practices in addition to using
antimicrobial therapy to disturb the
attached biofilm

Bacterial Colonization of the Mouth
• Bacteria are acquired from:
– Atmosphere
– Food
– Human contact
– Contact from animals, such as pets
• Bacteria subsequently form colonies
between saliva and oral soft and hard
tissues

Tooth Eruption
• Prior to eruption the external surface of
tooth enamel is lined by remnants of the
enamel-forming organ
• These tissue remnants are the reduced
enamel epithelium and the basal lamina
• This subsurface organic material is called
subsurface pellicle

Tooth Eruption (Continued)
• An erupted tooth immediately becomes
covered by a thin, microscopic coating of
saliva materials
• It is acquired after tooth eruption and is
exogenous in nature
• Referred to as acquired pellicle

The Acquired Pellicle
• Acellular
• Consists primarily of glycoproteins derived
•
•
from saliva
Occupies million of microscopic voids in
the erupted tooth caused by chemical and
mechanical interactions of the tooth
surface with the oral environment
If the pellicle is displaced by a prophylaxis
it begins to reform immediately

The Acquired Pellicle (Continued)
• Also forms on dental restorations
• Interestingly, there is competition for
binding sites on the pellicles, not only by
receptors on bacteria but also from host
proteins, including immunoglobulins

• Availability of nutrients

Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial
Adhesion
• The initial bacterial attachment to the
acquired pellicile is thought to involve
physicochemical interactions between
molecules or portions of molecules
• Bacteria have external cell-surface
proteins termed adhesions

FIGURE 2–6
This diagram illustrates some of the possible molecular mechanisms that mediate attachment of bacteria to
teeth during dental plaque formation. A. A side chain of a phenylalanine component of a bacterial protein
interacts via hydrophobic bonding with a side chain of a leucine component of a salivary glycoprotein in
the acquired pellicle. B. The negatively charged carboxyl group of a bacterial protein is attracted to a
positively charged calcium ion (i.e., electrostatic attraction), which in turn is attracted to a negatively
charged phosphate group of a salivary phosphoprotein in the acquired pellicle. C. The host’s dietary
sucrose is converted by the bacterial enzyme, glucosyltransferase, to the extracellular polysaccharide,
glucan, which has many hydrophobic groups and can interact with amino acid side-chain groups, such as
serine, tyrosine, and threonine. D. The fimbrial surface appendage extends from the bacterial cell to
permit the terminal adhesin portion to bind to a sugar component of a salivary glycoprotein in the
acquired pellicle.

• Subgingival
• Primary colonizers
• Secondary colonizers

Dental Plaque Matrix
• Dental plaque consists of different species
of bacteria that are not uniformly distributed
• The bacterial cells in the biofilm are
surrounded by an intercellular plaque
matrix which is composed of both organic
and inorganic components

Dental Plaque Metabolism
• A source of energy is required for
metabolism to occur
• Once exposed to sucrose, microorganisms
produce:
–Acid
–Intracellular polysaccharides
–Extracellular polysaccharides

Dental Calculus
• The term calculus is derived from the Latin
word meaning pebble or stone
• Calculus itself is not harmful and cannot be
removed by brushing or flossing
• It needs to be removed because its
presence makes routine oral hygiene
difficult
• May be affected by behavioral factors and
systemic conditions

Dental Calculus (Continued)
• The two types of calculus may differ in
color:
– Supragingival calculus usually appears as a
yellow to white mass with a chalky consistency
– Subgingical calculus appears gray to black in
color and has a flint-like consistency
